Oceanic Resources
Text-only     Printer-friendly version             
The Topic will present a series of maps and charts currently available representing the distribution of the major oceanic resources. They are the results of several years of research and exploration programmes, carried out by several nations and compiled by numerous institutions and scientists. Many technologies has been used, since the beginning of the research, from the first voyagers using simple instruments to measure and to navigate the seas to the highly sophisticated satellites used in present investigations.

TitleTOPP Near real-time animal tracks  ( MULTIMEDIA FILE )
Author(s) / Editor(s) Tagging of Pacific Pelagics
DescriptionThe story may begin out on the open sea, or upon a stretch of wild shoreline during tag deployment, but the tales that emerge from the results are what make a TOPP scientist's pulse quicken; the resolution of old mysteries even as new ones may arise. The first whispers of these unfolding narratives are in the data displayed on maps like the ones you will see on these pages. Once we understand how to read what the maps are telling us, we find ourselves engaged by the big questions: where are the animals going? what they are doing? -- and why?
